Reading have organised a CPR demonstration ahead of tomorrow's clash with Luton Town after it saved a supporters life in the reverse fixture.
Royals fan Pippa Rouse stepped in to deliver CPR to Hatters fan David after the 0-0 draw at Kenilworth Road in November.
We love this, @ReadingFC! đź‘Ź

Thank you @PippaLaurenn, you are a true life-saver and we are so glad that David will get to meet you tomorrow night. 🧡#COYH https://t.co/hFcHKVfg4v
Making a full recovery, Pippa and David will meet for the first time at tomorrow's match.
“Around Christmas time, I contacted Luton Football Club’s Safeguarding Manager, who was able to track him down for me and in January I was able to have a conversation with Dave," Pippa told the club. "And now I can’t wait to see him on Wednesday night!”
If you can, please get to tomorrow’s game by 6pm - SCAS are doing a CPR demo for fans of both clubs! Worth knowing - you’ll never know when you need it! #ReadingFC https://t.co/fm6UkWvgY8

The demonstration is due to take place outside the Fanstore and Main Reception from 6pm.
Both David and Pippa will be treated to hospitality at the game and will be welcomed onto the pitch at half-time.
Talking on social media, Pippa said: "If you can, please get to tomorrow’s game by 6pm - SCAS are doing a CPR demo for fans of both clubs! Worth knowing - you’ll never know when you need it!"
